I post this, because I would LOVE to know how much all these things would have cost me at a stealer. Here is a list of the things I got done and how much it cost me.
The maintenance minder said it was "124 miles past due." Which means its right on time, for me. I don't like to change the oil at 15%, or 10%. I like to change it when it's at 0 miles left. But, I'm in the process of moving, and not living at home at this time. So I getter done, when I getter done. 124 miles over is NOTHING.
Replaced engine oil - 4.5 quarts = $12.15
Replaced engine oil filter (Genuine Honda filter) = $4.65
Replaced engine air cleaner (Genuine Honda filter) = $17.48
Replaced cabin air filter (Genuine Honda filter) = $26.36
Replaced serpentine belt (Genuine Honda belt) = $36.73 *(I only did this cause mine was squealing a bit)*
Replaced front parking sensor = $219.43
Shipping of all but oil & oil filter = $15.79
Not counting the sensor = $113.16
Including the sensor (all) = $332.59.
I bet all this work at the stealer would have been $1,000 or more.
BTW - I was perplexed as to replace the sensor or not. For one, she has just been turning the feature off, and it does not make any alert that there is a problem. 2nd - I thought I might have to remove the bumper, but didn't have to (I made a post about replacing the sensor). And 3rd, I didn't want to pay $220 for the sensor.
But when I added the total order up, including the sensor, it came out to $300.00 even! So I took it as an omen. :stupid:
$17.48 + 26.36 + 36.73 + 219.43 (I already have the oil filters and I buy Castrol GTX from Advance Auto) = $300.00, not counting the shipping.
This was a B2 service + the serpentine belt + the sensor.
How much do you folks think a stealer would charge for this?
